Dunleavy The Grafter Syrah 2017, Waiheke Island

Ripe, fruity peppery and varietal. Aromas and plate flavours of red cherry and raspberry, red pepper corn and a dusty earthy stony layer. Moderate to firm tannins, medium+ acidity - both highlighting the sweet spot and the fruit mid-palate, then oak then earth. Balanced and well made, generous and fresh. Best drinking from today and through 2023.
